Lyrics

Some times I re mem ber the (Cm7)old (Bb)days

when the world was (Bb)filled with sor (F)row, you might have thought I was liv ing, but I was (Bb)all a lone.

In my heart the (Cm7)rain was fall (Bb)ing, the (F)wind blew,

the (Bb)night was call (F)ing,

“Come back, come back,

I’m all you’ve (Bb)ev er known.”

(F)O pen the door (Eb)and (F)come on in,

(Eb)I’m so glad to (Bb)see you, (Cm7)my (Bb)friend.

You’re like a (Bb)rain bow com in’ a (F)round the bend.

And when I see you hap py,

well,

it (Eb)sets my heart (Bb)free.

I’d like to be as (Bb)good a friend to you (F)as (Eb)you are to (Bb)me.

There were friends who could al ways (Cm7)see (Bb)me,

through the haze their (Bb)smiles would reach (F)me, (Eb)say ing o kay,

say ing good bye,

(Bb)say ing hel lo.

Soon I knew that (Cm)what I was af (Bb)ter was (F)life and love,

(Bb)tears and laugh (F)ter.

Hel (Eb)lo, my good friend, hel lo my dar lin’, (Bb)what do you know?

I used to think it was (Cm7)on (Bb)ly (F)me feel ing a lone,

not feel ing free

to be a live, to be a (Bb)friend.

Now I know we (Cm)all have storm (Bb)y weath er, the sun shines (F)through when we’re to geth er.

I’ll be your friend right through to the (Bb)end.

(F)O pen the door (Eb)and (F)come on in,

(Eb)I’m so glad to (Bb)see you, (Cm7)my (Bb)friend.

You’re like a (Bb)rain bow com in’ a (F)round the bend.

And when I see you hap py,

well,

it (Eb)sets my heart (Bb)free.

I’d like to be as (Bb)good a friend to you (F)as (Eb)you are to (Bb)me.

(F)O pen the door (Eb)and (F)come on in,

(Eb)I’m so glad to (Bb)see you, (Cm7)my (Bb)friend.

You’re all like (Bb)rain bows com in’ a (F)round the bend.

And when I see you hap py,

well,

it (Eb)sets my heart (Bb)free.

I’d like to be as (Bb)good a friend to you (F)as (Eb)you are to (Bb)me.

(Eb)you are to (Bb)me.
